We had a group of Ashland High School students doing the first improv show in The Sidecar at Nick’s on Saturday! Here’s Harry (guitar), Kyle, and Greta. We’re missing Cam because he was late😁. They had a great show and did an impressive lift of an hour of comedy!!! #improv #openmic

We’ve got some new lighting up in The Sidecar for our Improv show/ open mic tonight. Bring some friends to see our collection of AHS students put on a show! And make sure you stop by our main seating area and get a caricature done by Jerry Shippee! Can’t Wait for to Illuminate Ashland!

Except for one missing member, we have our AHS improve group practicing for their show on December 13th, 5 pm -6 pm, as part of Illuminate Ashland. Come get a caricature made by James Shippee (5 pm - 7 pm), watch the show, and then take part in the open mic hosted by the group (6 pm - 7 pm)!

Set up is under way for the vendors at Nick’s for this year’s Holiday Stroll! Come down between 12 and 4 pm today for some Holiday shopping and a slice!

We’ll be hosting Bliss Creations, Siyara Creations, Nature Creations - Perler bead work, Quill & Canvas, and Keychain Krafts in the Main seating area of Nick’s this weekend, December 6th, from Noon to 4 pm. Come out and support Ashland’s youth entrepreneurs and have a good time!

Last night we hosted the Ashland Youth Basketball Girls 7th Grade White Team for their pre-game team building dinner. Then this morning we got to watch the 7th Grade Blue Team win their first game in the Hopkington Tap Off tournament! Ready for more basketball throughout the weekend!

These were added to the Little Art Museum yesterday. 99% certain about which Ashland Middle Schooler created them 🤣, but who wants to take them home to annoy their parents???😜😝🤪 I am officially immune, so they need a better home! Come by and take a piece of art or make your own like these!

We had out first contributors to the Little Art Museum yesterday! Come by and take one of these masterpieces if it speaks to you, or drop off a work of art of your own!!!

We’re trying to brighten up our space a little bit with a Little Art Museum! Come by and leave some of your own art work, or take a piece that stands out to you! #art #metrowestart #localart www.instagram.com/reel/DRF1lUY...

To celebrate the Holiday season, we’re adding a special Turkey Dinner Pizza to the menu! House made stuffing and cranberry sauce, potatoes cubed turkey, and a gravy base all on our hand-stretched to order NY Style crust. $25.00 starting this weekend while we have enough fixin’s!

Is it just me, or does Amazon Music playing Zombie by The Cranberries under the Spoooooky Halloween playlist have a “Governmental candidate playing Born in the USA but not looking at the lyrics” kinda feel?

Been looking for a duo to paint on pizza pans to hang up as demonstrations of our pizza sizes. I never found inspiration until KPop Demonhunters came along and gave us the iconic Sussy and Derpy. “How big is a small?” See the magpie with the hat. A large? See the tiger (the true owner of the hat!):

On a rainy day I listened to the final episode of @marcmaron.bsky.social’s WTF with @barackobama.bsky.social. The take away is we are facing a time of struggle, but everything, like the rain, podcasts, and presidencies, come to and end, and life goes on. BOOMER LIVES!!

Come by after school or on the way home for $1.50 slices! Ongoing until we change out mind😜 #pizzaslice

As a former drummer and Professor fan, Rush touring again brings longing. As a Rush fan, I cannot wait to see them live again!!!! Hell yea for Canada’s best export!

We’ll be closed Mondays starting Sept. 29th, 2025. We’ll be open 11 am-8 pm every other day except Fridays when we are open until 9 pm!!!

Now that we have NY style pizza at Nick’s, what are some of the differences between it and our traditional Greek style? #nystylepizza🍕 #greekpizza

Starting this Friday, September 5th, Nick’s Pizza will be expanding our pizza offerings to include NY Style Pizza alongside our stalwart Greek Style! Soft launched during Downtown After Dark in August, we are finally rolling out the new cook, new sauce, and new cheese! Try it out this weekend!

As part of Ashland's Downtown After Dark event on Friday, August 22nd, we'll be hosting karaoke for families and the youth of the MetroWest area. Come by from 6 pm - 8 pm and have some fun, no matter you skill level!

August 22nd we'll be part of Downtown After Dark in Ashland! Nick's will be selling slices and handing out samples of our Sidecar drinks at the Corner Spot with other Downtown businesses! Then, at the Sidecar proper we'll be hosting karaoke for all ages! See you then!

Not Chuck Mangione!! @blainecapatch.bsky.social, time to bring back my favorite Need Poker bit for one last tribute (meant sincerely on all fronts!). abcnews.go.com/GMA/Culture/...

Met some people at Clover Road Brewing earlier in week interested in Game Night tomorrow night. Might not start until 7 pm, with the kitchen closing at 8 pm, but luckily I know the owner. This week I was thinking of bringing Century: Eastern Mountains- Golem Edition. Join in or bring your own games!

And TWO MORE additions to the Nick’s Game Library!! Dragonwood and Horrified. Dice chucking and monster battling. Who could asl for more? #gamenight #universalmonsters #dragon

Picked up a copy of Haba’s Animal Upon Animal today for the shop’s game library!! Is it in German? Yes!, but luckily this is a game that is easy for all ages to play (and we’ll add a copy of the English rules from our personal library).

So far, the Clocker Classic is the most popular of our drinks at The Sidecar. Named for the Ashland mascot AYL Classic League, it’s strawberry and blue raspberry syrups and soda water, the colors of our town’s teams! Come down to The Sidecar and try this or one of our other drinks today!!

Its a great day for one of my favorite beers of all time purchased at Wine Empire in Ashland, MA. Goes great with pizza too, but I may be biased😉!

The Sidecar will be open today for anyone who has the day off and wants to see what we’re working on! Grab a drink, a snack, and maybe play some Just Dance or Mario Kart! And don’t forget, tonight is Game Night!

(3/3) The Sidecar is a meeting place, hangout, and event stage for after school and throughout days off. With our soft launch this past Friday (June 13th), and our first official customers/ Mario Kart players, we’re building from here! #mariokart8 #justdance #pizzaparty

(2/3) On Sunday, June 7th we had a tremendously successful Friends and Family Open House of this space we are dubbing The Sidecar. Serving as an entertainment spot and place to get fun, family friendly drinks and snacks,

(1/3) Over the past year since taking over Nick’s Pizza and Grill, we’ve been eyeing making our seating space a place where the youth of Ashland, and surrounding communities, can come and hang out.

Every Thursday from 4 pm to 7:30 pm is Game Night. We recently had a generous donation of games that will permanently live at the shop, and were lucky enough to have some Ashland and Hopkington kids test drive one! Bring your own games or try some of the others from our library this week!!

Even a simple local pizza parlor like Nick’s isn’t immune from Bowser chasing Princess Peach. Luckily she and Toadette left him in the dust! Coming soon to Nick’s Pizza and Grill, you can kick some Koopa shell too!

We’re bring new things in to Nick’s Pizza and Grill, looking to transform our seating space into an area where the youth of Ashland, and surrounding towns, can meet up, have fun, and maybe grab a slice. Part of that is testing out some of our new equipment.

I hate when I already know what a “special announcement” from a podcast means in advance. Oh well, 16 years is a helluva run for WTF with marcmaron.bsky.social! Pow, I just…IYKYK!

Miggy O’Hara is my Spiderman, thanks to this writer! A huge loss for comics and creativity in general!

We'll be closed on Monday, May 26th for Memorial Day. Have a great holiday if you have the day off as well!

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we'll have to cancel Game Night again this week. We should be back at it on May 29th! In the mean time, take advantage of a couple of deals for the upcoming long Memorial Day weekend, and enjoy the time off!

No Game Night this Thursday as we’ll be checking out the Art Saves Ashland event! We’ll be back next week! #ashlandma #artsaves #mentalhealthawarenessmonth

This week we’ll be playing Scoville during Nick’s Pizza Game Night. Come on out and collect some peppers, make some chili, and win some awards! Or bring your own games OR play some of ours! #gamenight #tastyminstrelgames #trickortreatstudios

Tomorrow night is Game Night at Nick’s and we’re back to zombies, and winter (!!), with Dead Of Winter: The Long Night. Come on out if you went to help survive the zombie outbreak- or potentially be the traitor that ruins us all-between 4 pm and 7:30! #gamenight #plaidhatgames #zombieapocalypse

We'll be closed on Sunday, April 20th for the Easter Holiday. We'll be open again on Patriot's Day (Marathon Monday, April 21st).

Had a fantastic game of Last Night on Earth tonight at Nick’s Game Night! Four survivors managed to collect enough gas and the keys to the truck to make a harrowing escape! Come in next Thursday from 4 pm to 7:30 pm to see what adventures we can get into next! #GameNight #lastnightonearthboardgame

Hey Google- how about instead of working on the AI search response no one wants, you just stop allowing my hours to be updated to closed by randos? I would think that would be pretty easy!

Thursdays from 4pm to 7 pm are game nights at Nick’s Pizza and Grill. We had a request to show off the card game Ashes: Rise of the Pheonixborn, so we’ll be there with (most of) the collection. Join us for this or bring your favorite game and show it off! Either way, the more the merrier!

Mike Portnoy wearing a Lumon shirt talking about Neil Peart’s drumming on “Tom Sawyer” is maybe too much awesome in one area.

Lastly we have Paneer Fries: French fries covered in masala sauce and topped with paneer. Check back in for more additions inspired by other cuisines!!! (3/3)

Next we have a Chicken Tikka Masala calzone: also including ricotta and pizza cheese. Both calzones are served with a house made raita for dipping. (2/3)

We’re trying some new flavors at Nick’s, starting with these Indian inspired items. First the Paneer calzone: fried paneer cheese, grilled spinach, tomatoes, ricotta and pizza cheese.(1/3)

Also, I miss the days of Comixology (the legacy app that Kindle absorbed/killed) giving away so many Marvel comics it crashed the site for nearly a week. I wonder when those issues will disappear from my digital library…
